Speculation, Denial, and Gold's Parabolic Rise and Fall? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: J_Derek_Blain
Last article I covered the philosophy of gold and why that itself must change in the mind of the general public before we can see a real bull market. The arguments are here, and though the angry gold-bug letters calling for $10,000 / oz gold in 6 months continue to pour in, I have also received a few "hmmm, I never looked at this gold bull market like that before" emails which puts a smile on my face.
After all, at Investophoria we aren't just into helping ourselves, but educating would-be and professional investors alike with the "other side of the trade".

Investors Buy Gold As Central Banks on Course to Crash World Economy / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Bob_Chapman
Investors buy gold when there is inflation and when there is a flight to quality. They buy gold when they no longer trust currencies, due to government or central bank profligacy. Due to those and other reasons gold has broken out to new highs. It could well be that gold may never see $1,000 again. Long ago the world’s central banks set the course for a planned collapse of the world economy to implement world government and there is now no turning back. We have proof stretching back to 1965 that intervention by the Treasury and the Fed was taking place in the gold market.

Gold and the United States Lost Stock Market Investment Decade / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Investmentscore.com
As we enter a new decade we are compelled to point out what, in our opinion, is the “Lost Decade” of the United States. The financial media, brokerage houses and advisors have done a good job promoting the opportunity of owning US Equities, and as a result the average investor continues to wait and hope that their cookie cutter, simplistic investment strategies will provide for their future.

Weak U.S. Dollar Boosts Commodities, What’s Next? / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Another fantastic week for precious metals as the US dollar continues its slide lower. Energy commodities like oil and natural gas are having some difficulty finding buyers.
When commodities start to trend they become very profitable for those riding them up or down. But when a short term trend starts to virtually go straight up (parabolic) then we must be prepared for a sharp pullback. Once the price starts to slide I figure a lot of short term traders will begin locking in profits, sending gold down.

By: Lorimer_Wilson

Big Players Get Physical with Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: John_Browne
Over past years, we at Euro Pacific have taken an increasingly jaundiced view of paper currencies and written repeatedly about gold as an alternative. Along the way, we have urged investors to consider both the security and physical accessibility of their gold investments, and have advocated for at least some holdings to be in physical form. There are those who may have felt our views were overly cautious, even alarmist. Now, however, it is increasingly clear that major investors, including even central banks, are following our advice. Meanwhile, we continue to set the curve by calling for an even greater share of investors' portfolios to be in physical bullion or secure equivalents.

Oil Stock Valuations Increasing-and Not Just From Higher Crude Oil Prices / Commodities / Oil Companies
By: Keith_Schaefer
I have noticed valuations in the junior oil sector creeping up – sometimes to the point where I have to blink. But it’s not just the increase in the price of oil this year that has driven up valuations.
Technology is increasing how much oil or gas companies can produce from a well in a day, and in the overall amount of oil or gas they can recover from a given formation – essentially how fast and how much they produce. Technology is giving investors more leverage to the price of oil.

Silver SLV ETF May Play Catch-Up to Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
It is staggering to think that spot gold prices have rocketed well beyond the Jan 1980 high, while spot silver prices are about 60% off of the 1980 high. Let’s notice that the silver price structure is heading for a confrontation with its long-term resistance line, now at $19.93, which if hurdled and sustained just might be the catalyst for upside acceleration that plays catch-up in a hurry with the advance in gold prices.

Silver and Gold as Currency / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Gold and silver have a 6000 year history for their use as a currency, and until the last century, the price of gold and silver maintained a healthy valuation ratio of 1 ounce of gold to every 15 ounces of silver. This purchasing power ratio is strengthened by the fact that there are 17 ounces of silver for every 1 ounce of gold in the earth's crust, although physical silver stocks have dwindled, as the metal is used in a wide variety of industrial applications.
